Status Quo
Posted by Chris Lambert
The morning sun was lost behind afternoon clouds, and I don't see much changing the next few days. We'll get some breaks of sun, but clouds win out most of the time. The following talks about some rain and snow showers, but remember... MOST of the time is dry.
As a big ole storm to the NE of us continues to spin it's wheels, just enough instability rotates back into southern New England tonight and early tomorrow to trigger a few snow showers. North and west of Boston, a few towns may pick up a dusting, but not much more than that. In fact, any dusting of snow melts by late morning tomorrow as temps head their way up to the 40 degree mark. A passing rain or snow shower is possible in the afternoon, but again, much of the day is dry. About 30% of us pick up a rain or snow shower. A few more snow showers drop another dusting of snow north of the city tomorrow evening.
A passing rain or snow shower still possible Monday before completely dry weather prevails Tuesday. At that point, we turn our eyes to the south for Wed and Thur. A mid-Atlantic storm cranks up Wednesday and Thursday, but it remains to be seen how much of an impact we'll see. I'd bet on lots of clouds, an occasional rain or snow shower, and a strong east to northeast wind both days. Right now, the brunt of the storm looks to slide just south of us, but I wouldn't discount a farther north track just yet. Certainly worth watching at this point. At least we'll see an impact of high winds and rough seas along the coast.
Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.
Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!
More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.
Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.
